I believe some form of committee was set up to do this, including a Ricky Gardiner who investigated the Searle photos. This was nothing ground breaking since the Sunday Mail had done an expose of Frank in 1976. However, they sought to determine how thew other pictures may have been taken. The most convincing one (for me) was the submerged post in the loch at the same location for one of Frank's long necked photos. Some of this was covered in the TV documentary, "The Man Who Captured Nessie".<br />Glasgow Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03597014995112568086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-21172111358430358122016-03-16T07:53:22.579-07:002016-03-16T07:53:22.579-07:00Thanks for the info GB.

Frank Searle had decked Witchell when he found him snooping about his camp.

They were the hunters of the 60's and 70's. But its good to know there are still people doing it to this day, Gordon Holmes is busy at the loch and Steve Feltham is still there. I have been a monster hunter for about 15 years now but I like to keep it mostly private and without any attention. I have met many wonderful people connected with the mystery of loch ness, believers and sceptics.I have spoke with Steve a few times over the years and i bumped into Gordon once plus i have boarded George Edwards's boat and Dick Raynor's wihout mentioning i was a monster hunter.All these mentioned will always have a place in the loch ness monster story.Nessie hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16229224123946060762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-58756228652669506082016-03-14T02:55:17.357-07:002016-03-14T02:55:17.357-07:00This is why I look forward to Paul Harrison's ...This is why I look forward to Paul Harrison's biography of him in his final years.

I can take to him because he did then what im doing now. I just wonder why he resorted to so many hoaxed photographs? Maybe he got bored, but i tend to think he stopped believing in the monsters and maybe felt a bit annoyed with himself after all the years and time dedicated to the subject.But like him or loathe him he will always go down as part of the story.Nessie hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16229224123946060762noreply@blogger.com
